Performing Art

This PP is part of GROUP 1 reporter

1. The performing arts are those forms of
art which differ from the plastic arts
insofar as the former uses the artist's own
body, face, and presence as a medium,
and the latter uses materials such as clay,
metal or paint which can be molded or
transformed to create some physical
art object. The term "performing arts"
first appeared in the English language in
the year 1711.

focuses on three career paths, music

27. Centering
This is maintaining a sense of your own
body center that holds you together as
you move. It allows you to move
gracefully and freely.

28. Gravity
This is the force that holds you to the
earth. It is a force you have to work with
because it constantly inhibits
movement.

29. Balance
Balance is concerned with more than
balancing on one leg. Your aim is to
achieve and constantly maintain an
inner balance of the whole body. It is
tension of mutual support among all
parts that brings the whole together in
a new way.

30. Posture
It is the key to balance and movement.
Your posture not only reveals your
feelings but can also reveal feelings in
you.

31. Gesture
Gesture involves using the body as an
expressive instrument to communicate
feelings and ideas in patterns of
movement. With subtle gestures and
postural attitudes we show cooperation,
give confidence to friends or display
aggression to enemies

32. Rhythm
It is the timing of events on a human
scale of the steps of a dance. Rhythm
may also refer to visual presentation, as
"timed movement through space."

33. Moving in Space
You need to be aware of the space
around you. Space is not just empty air
but a tangible element that you move
through.

34. Breathing
Breathing is crucial to dance. Not only
does it bring oxygen to the body but it
also gives your movements fluency and
harmony. This gives a more emotional,
organic look to a dance.
